The last session of the legisla
ture enacted a law whereby many
duties of the police judge and city
treasurer have been obviated.
Heretofore the $uty of assessing
the city and making the tax roll
wag assigned to the police jujjge-,'
and the task of collecting J lie taxes
devolved upon the citytreasurer.
Under the uew lavhe duties of
the former have Jreen assigned to

and attend to some other minor

performed by the trersurer. The
council can not be deaf to theclam
mor on the part of our citizens for
retrenchment. Now is a good time
for the members of that body to
display their ability as fianciers.
Let us hope that they will give the
matter their immediate attention.

225.536 in the number sheep in
the United States last year i due
to a fear of free trade in wool. A
total loss of $30,723,154 in the
value of our flocks is due to the
same cause. Thus, says the Amer
ican Economist, has the soup house
administration carried its policy of
prostration onto American farms.
In this connection it is interesting
to note that. on r-ebruary 1st, there
were 23,669,914 pounds of ioreign
' wool waiting in bond at New York
alone for remission of the duty so
that it can rush in and help to glut
the market and hasten the ruin of
the American farmer.

EFFECT OF THE WILSON BILL.
That the Wilson bill will pass
the senate, is almost an assured
fact. Amendments and modifica
lions may be made to it before its
final passage, but its main features
will not be materially effected, and
withal it will remain a low taiifl
measure, paralyzing our industries
and ruining our workingnien. Ii
is sure to become a law, and will
remain in operation at least three
years, because it. is hardly proba
ble that the republicans will regain
control of all branches of the gov
ernment before 1S97, and it will
require control of all then to make
the change. It now becomes a
matter of paramount considera
tion to ascertain what its effects
will be. By the triumph of the
democratic party at the last presi
dential election we are now suffer
ing a season of depression and en
forced idleness. By the endorse
ment of the Chicago platfor.n the
democracy was pledged to a policy
of tariff tinkering. Its results are
painfully apparent.
AH industries affected by the
McKinley bill have been either
checked or paralyzed. Manufac
Hirers and dealers would not be so
insane as to buy raw material and
by working it up into a finished
product accumulate a large stock,
when by such an operation he was
liable to lose money. The proper
thing to do under such circum
stances was to dispose of the stock
already accumulated, and manu
facture no more than sufficient to
supply the present demand. This
was th-' first cause of the depres
sion. By reducing the output of
our manufactories a vast number
of men were thrown out of em
pioyment and tins destroyed or
reduced their means for buying,
consequently tiie sales of our
tradespeople have been materially
lessened and complete stagnation l
the result. When a change in exist
ing conditions! is forseen. those
whose interests will be effected
seek to accommodate thfm-
selvesto I hefiew conditions. The
enactment of the Wilson bill means
a departure from the policy under
which he country has been pros
perous and those affected by it are
adjusting their business affairs ac
yordingly.
Producers understand that their
products must comeinto competi
tion with those of foreign pro
ducers, on terms less favorable
than they have enjoyed in the past;
that they must produce cheaply
enough to meet the products man
ufactured by cheaper labor.
Wages must be reduced to meet
this. Strikes aro of no effect for
the reason that plenty of idle men
are to be had for any position that
is offered. Protected in lustries
are by no means the only ones af
fected; each and every one must
suiier. .
A reduction of wages in any one
large field of labor means a re
duct ion all along the line until ev
ery wage-earner shares iu the de
crease.
Every one knows what to ex
pect and as soon as the Wilson bill
goes into force, the process of re
duction will go steadily on until
wages have fallen to a level com
mensurate with the protection af
forded by it. This reduction has
been on for some time in anticipa
tion of the present conditions, for
which the democratic partv is
alone to blame, and it must con
Unue until the minimum is reach
ed. Factories, mills and other in
dustnes may start up, but with
less hands and at reduced wages,
nit - f
ine price oi our laoor will more
nearly reach the European stan
dard, their ability to buy will be
curtailed, and thus our store
keepers will generally experience
hard times. The farmers will also
be injured. Their market will de
crease. They will see plainly that
the buying capacity of the masses
has been diminished, which will
affect them just as it does every
one else. I hough groceries
clothing and provisions may be
cheaper, they will have less money
with which to buy, and thus the
advantages promised them by free
trade demagogues will turn out to
be a delusion and a snare.
Thk lime for city election will
soon arrive. Voters in each ward
should be on the alert for materal
with which to fill up their ticket.
Nominate only those who will
best subserve the interests of our
city; men who understand the
mangemeut of affairs; men who
will pay the same, attention to
details in affairs of the city
as they do in their own business;
who are careful, capable and eco
nomical. .
VQx February 1, at the port of
New York, there were 1,908,274
pounds of wool goods, valued at
$1,250,029, and 7,822,829"siuare
yards of woolen dress goods; worth
$1,389,077, waiting for the Wilson
bill to become a law so as to einv
pete with the American mills and
reduce the value of our labor. ;

TAUGHT BY ADVERSITY.
Editor Gazette: We are now
learning the , uses of adversity.
Although the present hard times
naturally seem an unmixed evil,
close observation will reveal there
in object lessons of great value
and importance. Human ' nature
is so constituted that we can never
fully appreciate the blessing of
prosperity until from some cause
we are deprived of it. Business
men who felt and encouraged dis
satisfaction with profits twoye rs
ago did not realize then as thev
do now that they were doing well.
the fact that they were prosper
ous seems now to have been self-
evident, yet this prosperity, as
well as the causes which provided
it, are entirely ignored. It was
impossible that they siiould recog
nize and value the causes of a con
dition, i he existence of which they
denied. They learned no valua
ble lesions while they were grow
ing rich; fair returns on invest
ments only brought intereht, with
visions of larger operations and
greater profits. Man never looks
closely to the cause of his happi
ness, but inquires minutely why
he suffers pain. Therefore busi
ness men are now actively engaged
looking lot causes that occasioned
the business depression that every
where prevails. The hard times
of the present alone have enabled
them to appreciate, retrospective
ly, the good limes of the past.
Thirty years of prosperity failed
to teach them the lesson they will
acquire in four of adversity. Here
after they will be able to call to
mind the causes of past business
activ.ty, because they now clearly
understand tfie reason of present
depression. Business men are not
the only pupils being benefited in
this school of adversity. The idle
and unproductive millions of dol
lars lying in the vaults of our great
commercial centers are speaking
to the capitalist in unmistakable
terms. He valued not conditions
favorable to the profitable invest
ment.of his money while they
existed, but can fully appreciate
ihem when they have passed away.
He is made wiser if not better,
through his own reverses. He can
now understand that the activity
of money may be arrested; its in
vestment endangered; its capacity
for increase paralyzed. He can
fully realize that cash is not busi
ness activity, but only her hand
maiden, subservient at all times to
the laws governing her mistress;
that it can only measure values,
and facilitate transactions when
conditions over which it has no
control make exchanges desirable;
that it is a convenience, but not a
necessity, and that no mat ter what
its volume, it can never necessitate
the building of a mill or the turn
ing of a spindle. But the greatest
benefit of these hard times will ac
crue to him who needs it the moist:
the bread wiuner. Being compell
ed to labor more, he thinks less
than either the business man or
capitalist. Like them, he failed to
diagnose his condition and sur
roundings Eating at his own ta
ble, he spurned the wholesome
food of the American laborer, and
sitting by his own fireside, he mur
mured because his cottage did not
expand into a castle. A quarter
of a century, with conditions most
favorable to his class of any known
since the world began, failed to
impress him with a knowledge of
his happy lot, or win from him a
recognition of its beneficent effects.
The iron hand of adversity is teach
ing him now. Glaring contrasts
must be observed even by the
most stupiil men. Two pictures
are ever before him. One of care,
poverty and despondency, of en
forced idleness and gaunt famine,
meets him at his own threshold,
and follows him wherever he goes;
the other, brightly beaming with
health, hope and happiness, stands
foremost in his memory of home as
it was but two short years ago. He
has more leisure for thought and
reflection. Necessity is forcing
him to reason. He cannot shut
his eyes to his own distress, tr the
pitiful condition of his unhappy
family. He will now Bee that he
has but one comodity to sell his
labor. When no one will buy that
he must starve. It matters not
food and raiment are cheap. He
has nothing to buy with, in a land
of plenty. He is as helpless as
the children who look to him for
bread. He and they will suffer
until he has an opportunity ,-which
he will joyously embrace, to assist
in bringing back the old happy
times. G. W.
The responsibility of the de
pressed financial and business con
dition of the country rests upon
President Cleveland.' Even the
New York Press goes so far as to
say that one year of Clevelandism
has cost the American people more
than four years of civil war. The
history of the past twelve months
is an unbroken record of disgrace
and disaster; and for the evil that
has been wrought the sole respon
sibility belongs to the democratic
party and u rover Cleveland. ,

NO TIME FOR QUIBBLING.
People in this vicinity will be
pleased at the prospects of secur
ing an appropriation of five thous
and dollars for ; improvement ot
the Willamette near Corvallis.
This amount, however, will not be
sufficient with which to complete
the work already under consider
ation. At the very lowest esti
mate it will require ten thousand
dollars. This amount judiciously
expended may be sufficient to re
move the obstruction at the upper
end of the old west channel, but
this is not all that is required.
This water way is now seven feet
below low water mark, and t must
be dredged out for a distance of at
least one thousand feet in order to
be of any practicable use. A wing
dam at the mouth of East river is
necessary that the volume of water
which flows through it niav be
forced into the proposed cut off.
If these plans can be successfully
carried out during the coming sum
mer months, further appropria
tions will be unnecessary. To do
this, the present appropriation
must be doubled. Five thousand
dollars spent for this purpose may
result in some temporary relief,
but much of it will be wasted by
leaving the work in an uncomplet
ed state. To afford pfcrnianent
relief the plans under contempla
tion must be carried out in fi.ll.
This can be accomplished with ten
lltousaud dollars and no less.
Farmers can plow and raise crops,
but they can not be expected to
keep rivers open for navigation.
This is -ne of the principal duties
ol the government, and when such
matters are brought to the atten
tion ot congress, and the necessity
of prompt action made p'ain, its
members should lose no time in
quibbling over such a small
amount.
ORGANIZATION "nECESSAR Y.
Now is the time to organize
Republicans should organize cluts
in every precinet, that their in
fluence may permeate every set
tlement in the county. The neces
sity for thorough organization
was never more apparent. We
l meet a demo pop fusion in June,
It must be defeated. These clubs
, should be organized not only for
the coming campaign, but for the
maintaining of a permanent or
ganization for the constant spread
of republican principles, during the
long intervals between elections.
Do not hesitate because you can
not have a large club. Organize
at once. Six members are enough
to form a club that will be recog
nized by the state club, and its
delegate will be received into the
state club biennial meeting. A
club of that size would exert far
greater influence for good than
twice that number unorganized
Suggestions for organization and
a form of constitution and by-laws
have been sent to prominent re
publicans in each precinct during
j the past week, by the correspond
ing secretary of the Benton county
republican club, and asked to use
their efforts toward perfecting an
organization in their respective
precincts. Republicans will not
be satisfied this year by just mere
ly defeating their opponents, but
they want to roll up such an over
whelming majority that republi
cans everywhere will joyfully shout
the name of Oregon.
THE POPULIST PLATFORM.
The populist platform certainly will
be a grievous disappointment to the
nnimlists of the state. It must be
m m
proof to them bow little they know
what thev want. They are a thor
oughly discontented and querulous
sort of people, satisfied with nothing
that exists, talking large and wide
about the evils and abuses of society
and government; but when they come
to make a statement of what they
think is really the matter, what they
actually want, how they would reform
nolitical society and regenerate the
state, their performance is amusingly
barren, jejune, inane. . The prophecy
was thunder; the result is small beer.
We had looked for a platform which
would properly denounce any use or
influence of money on industry or bus
iness, and deliverance of the people,
therefore, from the tyranny of valuec,
But we see nothing in the platform
that promises thin freedom to the peo
ple, Theie is no suitable denunciation
of eoldbugs and plutocrats. Even
free coinage of silver is overlooked,
except in the vague reference, to the
Omaha platform; and yet, if populism
has any mission, free coinage of silver
cornea nearer to an expression of its
fundamental idea or purpose than any
other single thing. How could these
followers of Governor Pennoyer over
look the great question on which he
has severed his relations with the dem
ocrat io party and net up as a . rival to
Groyeri Cleveland in leadership ; and
f irnel We Wd-' been told that the
crime of Ihe agej- against which popu
lism wai the organized protest of a be-
. 1 ' 1 - . .ft.. mliiJ,
iraycu peoiw, w wwuku "
silver has received at tW bands of the
?w ittrld. And yedFO
this crime is overlooked, Bilver
is forgotten, yaud the ' leading
feature of the platform is a
demand for the initiative and referen
dum in legislation a vagary which
nobody cares about, and which would
be harmless in proportion to its failure
to carry out the purposes of those who
recommend it.
Partial reparation for this neglect
of silver is, however, m-ide by the con
vetiou's demand for the repeal of the
specific contract law. This law was
enacted iu 1664, when the people of
Oregon wire honest enough to fro'vn
upon any disposition to pay debts in
money inferior iu value to that in use
when the debt was contracted. But
this old-fashioned honesty is now out
of date, at least with makers of this
platform. The idea is that the specific
contract law makes it impossible for
the man who contracts to pay a debt
in good money to pay it in cheap stuff;
so there must be no law to hold him to
his contract. This is quite like the
method of that great English populist
and reformer of the olden time who
thought it 'fa lamentable thing that the
skin of an -innocent lamb should be
made parchment, and lhat parchment,
being scribbld o'er and sealed, should
undo a man." Perhaps the reason
why the convention did not pronounce
for bilver was the thought that even
silvtir was too valuable u thing to pay
debs with.
The single tax people got no recog
nition. 1 Ins seems to have baen due
to the fact that the convention was
controlled by country landholders, who
are unwilling, even for the sake of
great reform, to be taxed out of the
ownership of their Lnds. It is one
thing to gt rid of the specific contract
law, so you may beat the money lender
or the merchant out of the money you
agreed to pay him, but quite a difiVr-
nt thing when it is proposed that all
taxes shall go upon land.
Everyone expects to see from all
parlies this year a demand for ccono -
my in public atlairs. It will be

enforced through necessity, with or
without a demand from any party.

find itself the exclusive nronrietor of
this idea, which is the only thing in its
platform worth considering at all.
We are disappointed in the platform,
therefore, because we expected some
great rhetoric in denunciation of the
methods of the world, lurid fulmina
tions against the plutocrats, s.tvage
outbursts upon the tyranny of gold, and
woeful pictures of the 'suffering and
miseries of the people the whole red
dened with terrible threats of ven
geance, and then rainbowed with glo
rious promises of redress. We must
confess our disappointment at finding
the country in no worse condition
than indicated iu this platform, or our
disgust with the platform itself as a
most lame and impotent conclusion. -Oregonian.
What is Eczema?
It is an agony of agonies.
A torture of tortures.
It is an itching and burning of the
skin almost beyond endurance.
It is thousands of pin-headed ves
icles filled with an acrid fluid, ever
forming, ever bursting, ever flowing
upon the raw excoriated skin.
No part of the human skin is
exempt.
It tortures, disfigures and humil
iates more than all other skin diseases
combined.
Tender babies are among its most
numerous victims.
They are often born with it.
Sleep and rest are out of the
question. -

KILL THE WILSON BILL.
The hard times of the past. year
will be greatly increased by the
passage of the infamous Wilson
bill. Every possible effort should
be made to defeat the measure
to delay it in any event. We can
better afford a lew months of uii-l
certainty than four years of gener-
al adersity, suffering and distress.
Under the most favorable circum
stances, the Wilson bill, if it be-'
come a law, cannot be changed un-'
til the summer of 1397. United;
States senators, irrespective ofj
party, should be urged to defeat or
by every parliamentary method;
delay the passage of this mensure. '
On June 4th and November 6th, :
the people will have an opportu
nity to speak. Their verdict must
be awaited.
De Gama and Mello should go

Their mangement of 'he Brazilian
revolution has been nothing but a
farce. Troops tormerly under
their command have united with
the government in denoucing
lhemand desiring their capture.

America's Great Danger
AN ENGLISH COMMENTARY.
Said an eminent English scientist recently
"The danger that confronts the great Ameri
can people to-day is not the possible adop
tion of a wrong financial policy for the
nation, or the spread of socialism, or the
increase of corruption among public men.
All these are bad enough,. to be sure, but
they are as nothing compared to the terrible
national disease I had almost said national
crime of overwork. The mad rush for
wealth is set at a killing pace, and thousands

Rev. C. A. Cabboll, pastor First Baptist
Ch urch, Yellow Springs, O., writes as follows :
w I have used Dr. Miles' Restorative Nervine
for the past six months. I find it acts like
a charm on the whole nervous system. 1
have not found its equal in giving immediate
relief. Dr. Miles' little Nerve and Liver
Pills only need a trial and they will recom
mend themselves to be the best pills in the
market."
"For five years I have suffered from Ner
vous Prostration, I was unahle to work or
xteep. The first dose of Dr. MileV Restora
tive Nervine gave me relief, and one thou
sand dollars would not cover the good it ha
done me." JOHN MINCHER, Younge
town, Ohio.
